FAR Commander on Windows[1] is the spiritual successor of Norton Commander.

Made by the guy who wrote WinRAR (and RAR format)[2].

NC was for MSDOS, ie. text-based CLI. It had a TUI. MC has a TUI, akin to NC's.

There's a plethora of dual pane file managers. I like fman (cross-platform), which is a bit akin to Sublime Text.

given that Total Commander is shareware and only requires you to click a button to acknowledge this, while still being developed, that tool is my advanced file manager on Win and 1st thing I install on a new Android device.
